Tight end Brandon Pettigrew was officially ruled out with a sprained left
ankle, and the Lions are likely going to be without cornerback Darius Slay on
Sunday as well. He's been listed as doubtful as he continues to recover from
arthroscopic knee surgery.

Detroit enters Sunday's contest one game behind Chicago for first place in the
NFC North with two to play. The Lions have lost two straight and four of their
last five outings.
